Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, monitored by IgbereTV on Tuesday, Okupe said the merger failed because Kwankwaso of the NNPP insisted on being the presidential flagbearer, even when a Northern Muslim of same North-West geo-political zone, President Muhammadu Buhari, is about to complete eight years in office.
Speaking with Arise Tv, Peter Obi says he has picked Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, as his vice president.
He said during coalition talks he had asked the NNPP leadership if it was fair to field Kwankwaso, a northerner, of which the NNPP leadership said there was nothing wrong with that.
Okupe revealed that LP is now looking at young running mate of northern extraction.
